    That may be true, but most of the lights in my home aren't fluorescent.

    Yes, but there's a big difference in releasing mercury into the atmosphere and releasing it into your home.

    64K
    4K
    96K Game Compo

    And who could forget http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.kkrieger

      Of course, these are talking about disk space, and not memory. But still pretty cool.

  7. Re:Not the worst for *me*... on Your Worst IT Workshop? · · Score: 1

    How about, "Those who can, do (and pass the knowledge to those around them); those who can't, teach (at educational institutions)"

    I guess that's kinda long for an adage.

    Don't forget: How we Recycle

  9. From where I stand on IE 8 Passes Acid2 Test · · Score: 1

    I may be wrong, but the view I have of Microsoft is this: There's a lot of really cool and talented developers there who would like to do things like make IE better (and standards compliant) and be more friendly to things like open source. But there's a lot of management at MS that just won't allow it.

    Quick, lets start an open source Duke Nuken Forever workalike and see if we can get it released before the real thing.

    Wow. Guess I need to update my idioms.

    Of Course!

  15. Math on Penny-Sized Flash Module Holds 16GB · · Score: 1

    So if they put a bunch of these into a the space of a 1.8" hard drive, you'd end up with a 800GB solid state hard drive. Course, it would probably cost more than it's weight in gold.

  16. Re:Big deal on Penny-Sized Flash Module Holds 16GB · · Score: 1

    "Articles wearing greasy coveralls and have food stains down the front have no chance"

    Articles about greasy food, however, do stand a chance.

  19. Re:Say Wha!? on Startrek.com Shutting Down · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I guess using Startrek.com/movie would have been too much trouble.

  20. Re:Say Wha!? on Startrek.com Shutting Down · · Score: 1

    Cause there's no way it could have down both?

    You could always have a large movie promotion on the main site while still linking to other things.

  21. Maybe the teacher is right on Student Given Detention For Using Firefox [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    Maybe the assignment requires some quirk in IE (like strange CSS rendering) to work. :-)
